Chinatown, London

Chinatown is an ethnic enclave in Westminster, London, England, bordering Soho to its north and west and the West End theatre district to its south and east. After World War II, the growing popularity of Chinese cuisine and an influx of Hong Konger immigration led to the development of a significant Chinese population in London, and Chinatown began to take form off Shaftesbury Avenue during the 1970s. On 25 July 2016, a new Qing-styled Chinatown gate on Wardour Street was opened by Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
